Montenegro has been granted provisional membership of Uefa, but Gibraltar's application will depend on a subsequent meeting on the 7 and 8 December.

The organisation's executive committee will reconvene despite being ordered to grant membership to Gibraltar by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

A Uefa spokesman said the delay was "in order to examine new documents submitted shortly before the meeting."

Full membership can only be granted by Uefa's congress which meets in January.

The documentation has come from the Spanish football federation's (RFEF) "archives" and examines the state of Gibraltar's footballing facilities.

The RFEF is expected to seek support from Uefa members opposing membership, arguing that Uefa's own statutes exclude Gibraltar as the British colony does not have individual representation at the United Nations.
